Tweeter Street

Here's another meet the tweeters project. London-based photographer Michael Hughes noticed an app on his new smartphone that allowed him to see who was tweeting in his vicinity. This got him thinking; he wanted to know what these people looked like and where they were when they tweeted. So he chose the most eyecatching posts and contacted the people behind them, asking if they wanted to recreate the moment they'd just tweeted about. Besides satisfying his (and our!) curiosity, Michael says this project aims to humanise the social media experience, reminding us that real people are behind the tweets.

About Me

I commission photography and illustration for a living and thought it would be good to share some of the wonderful work I get sent daily to others who might appreciate it as much as I do! Sadly I can't commission everyone so maybe this helps to shine a brighter spotlight on the talented people I come across and meet. Also it's a good place to show work that I like and think inspiring, whether it's been used for a commercial purpose or created by pure artistic endeavour.
It's also a bit of scrapbook /memory nudge for me when I need to quickly
recall something great I've seen.
I should add at this point that any work you see on this blog is the copyright of the artist who created it who I always credit.
